[Anastasia]

You do some research - and night falls. You're making headway, but fatigue is calling you to bed. The night is clear this evening, the moon's glow casting pale illumination in through the windows. You suppose you could keep going and sacrifice sleep, if you really cared to.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa decides to retire for the night. The temperature is cool enough with the breeze coming off the ocean, so she decides to doze out on the open air balcony in one of the large padded hammocks.

[Anastasia]

Thus you curl up, facing the moon and the cool breeze. As your eyes drift shut...

Perception.

[Anastasia]

As you close your eyes, you notice the moon seems lined with purple, turning back as it gazes down on you, like an unrelenting eye.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa cracks one eye open to stare back, slightly disgruntled, as she tries to identify the spell... Didn't they set up anti-scrying measures? Who or what is this?

[Anastasia]

Make a Will save.

[Iron Dragoon]

> roll 1d20+18 Will
<Kobot> Iddy rolled 1d20+18 Will --> [ 1d20=16 ]{34}

[Anastasia]

You shake. An unreasoning fear grips you, like the embrace of death around your heart. You can't breathe. You're plunging into darkness, you can't breathe, you can't do anything but plummet. You're alone in the dark and empty chill, the voices of your family and friends fading away into silence.

Your stomach churns, tensing and twisting, bile tasted in the back of your throat. Clammy sweat beads up all over your body as you try to move, try to do anything, but your body refuses to obey your commands.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa tries to focus through the shivering fear and gasping breath to crawl inside to get away from the sight of the moon, hoping she can get enough control to use one of her spells.

[Anastasia]

Will save again.

Your body refuses to obey. Panic. Bile is starting to flood your throat, cutting off your air. The Eye of Shar looms in place of the moon, gazing down at you like a malevolent tumor burst through the skin of the night sky. You can't even see the balcony around you, all you can feel is your own sweat, pouring faster and faster off of you. Your heart is pounding, your eyes leaking tears and burning.

Don't resist. I'll carry you away from the pain and suffering, the fear and misery, the insecurities and the struggles. Shh, rest in my embrace Stop struggling and I'll take you away from all of this, now and forever.

The voice is horrible and yet wonderful, the most alluring thing you have ever heard. The sounds of a siren, of a call to rest, to put aside your burdens.

1 point of Constitution damage. Additionally, you're having trouble breathing, slowly choking.
